Hello,
I want to build an ultrasonic radar circuit (ultrasonic motion detector). The one I attached is widespread on the websites that provide schematics..
I know about someone who built it and found some problems with it, and he fixed them. He said that it worked well till a distance of about 7m. I'm trying to find the problem of the circuit before I make the PCB (which is provided) and so I can edit it before etching.
My view:
TR3 emitter should be downward (this may be my friends fault).
I want to ask about IC1's inputs, should they be reversed or they are correctly connected?
I may use LM358 instead of 741, but this will make me design another PCB. If this increases the range much more then I will.
I do understand how the circuit works in general.
The parts list and information are provided at the end of this page:

Any help finding the problem/problems? any suggestions?
Regards,
Hazim
